Zionism grew rapidly in the U.S. after 1900, based largely among Yiddish-speaking recent immigrants from Russia. The Reform Jews, of German background, largely opposed the movement with the main exception of [[Louis Brandeis]], the Supreme Court justice who became a key leader.  There were three main groups in 1918: the Zionist Organization of America had 149,000 members, the Mizrachi religious Zionists had 18,000 and the Labor Zionists ( Poalei Zion) had 7,000.  The pro-Zionist Yiddish language daily newspapers of the period--the ''Yidishes Tageblat'', ''Morgen Zhurnal'', the ''Maccabaean'', and ''Der Tog''--together had a combined circulation in 1917 of over 200,000.
